Yesterday I started making progress again on all of the exercises with the biodensity machine, which is the mainstay of the BStrong4Life program that I've been participating in since December 2013. In the leg press I'm able to press more than 15 times my body weight and in the other exercises, between 2 and 4 times my body weight. With about 6 months to go until my next bone density scan, I'm encouraged to keep up the weekly exercises along with other strength training, cardio and stretching.

Sue OmansonI am a "boomer" myself, and interested in bone density because of a family history of osteoporosis. I believe that the condition is not inevitable, but it is hard to fight in our culture. As a patient, exerciser, friend, mom, citizen, and consumer, I want to share what I've learned.
